GLADSTONE ON IRELAND.
LONDON, NAV - Gladstone was pres
ent at luncheon given last evening to
forty non-cOnformist ministers at the
residence of Rev. DR.. Parker of the City
Temple. He made an address of an
hours length, the subject of his whole
discourse being Ireland. He said there
never had oeen any reason for charging
the ParnellItes with completely in the
Irish crimes of six years ago. While
Prime Minister he denounced the Par
nellites as dangerous, that was totally
different from charging them with crime.
The present differences of Major Saun
derson, Lord Randolph Churchill and even
the Marquis of Salisbury are more dan
gerous than any utterances the Parnell1tes
ever made. Mr.. Gladstone held that the
alliance between the Liberals and the
Pernellites was perfectly open and one
that had been brought about by the sim
ilarlty of their views touching Ireland's
necessities. He declared that the coercion
bill was an insidious attack on the press,
a measured designed to create new
offenses and was dishonoriug and de-
grading bill. Mr.. Gladstone vehementlV
denounces the governments attitude on
the Times charges against the Irish
members. He said the prosecution of
the Times by the Crown would be hor
rible farce.
WHAT THE STANDARD SAYS.
LONDON, May 12.-The Standard this
is so extraordinary that it is difficult to
regard it as the serious utterance of q
statesman who has been thrice premier
It will add fresh strength to the dis
affected elements in Ireland and will lend
against the authority of the civil govern
ment. If anything could induce the
Nationals not to yield in their efforts to
make the unwritten law supreme it
would be the opinion Mr.. Gladstone has
seen fit to deliver on the morality of boy
cotting and his justification of that most
cruel and tyrannical of league methods.
ON THE LOOKOUT FOR ARMS.
LONDON, May 12.-It Is reported that
the government, acting on information
from secret agents in New York, has sent
the cutter Orwell to Craienhslt, Ireland,
to wait for the arrival of sn American
vessel. with cargo of arms and explosives.
